Lunar eclipse There are actually many variables regarding it.
Even though you can guess why, this question has been asked at least once. It has crossed your mind. We give the answer for you!
The Sun, Earth, and Moon align during a solar eclipse.

While the Earth is in this exact alignment, Moon and sun It is located between. Because the Earth’s shadow falls on the moon and the sun’s rays can reach the moon, the moon appears redder rather than darker.
Well, this won’t hold upWhy do we see it so rarely?
The moon completes its orbit around the Earth in 1 month.
If this is the case, one cannot help but ask. Anyway The moon is not regularly eclipsed every month. The reason is that the orbital plane of the Moon and the orbital plane of the Earth do not exactly coincide.
Good, orbit of the moonAs it orbits the Earth, it is inclined an average of 5° relative to the Earth’s orbital plane. This tilt is the factor that causes eclipses to occur rarely and at certain times.
The moon’s journey around the Earth shows us the moments when the inclined orbital planes intersect. It makes for a beautiful visual feast.
